Option E: North Wall to Poolbeg

Option E: North Wall to Poolbeg

Option E commences at the North Wall substation and travels to the south into the container handling area of Dublin Port Company (DPC) where it tracks east and skirts around the perimeter of the fuel tank farm along 2 Branch Road North. The route then turns north along Breakwater Road and east once again, entering DPC lands via a container handling area and the Stena Line truck marshalling area.

The route then turns south onto Terminal Road South. It follows this road to the car park adjacent to the Irish Ferries Terminal. Here the route continues southwards and crosses under the Lower Liffey Estuary towards Poolbeg. At Poolbeg, the route emerges on the east side of the open land adjacent to Celtic Anglian Water on Pigeon House Road. The crossing methodology will most likely be Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and site investigations will determine the preferred crossing route. The route then follows the shoreline past the old Poolbeg Power station and joins the Pigeon House Road before continuing to the Poolbeg Substation.
